Gun Club fire ruled an arson

The fire early Saturday morning destroyed the Gun Club restaurant on Colley Road outside Beloit. Investigators have ruled the blaze an arson. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, along with the Wisconsin Arson Insurance Council is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of anyone responsible.

Interest in the fire is high, as Town of Turtle fire chief Tim Huffman says once the streets were reopened to traffic Saturday, a constant stream of vehicles and onlookers have been passing by the site.
